The PGA Tour shifts east—really, really far east—this week for the first tournament of a three-event Asian swing: the CIMB Classic in Malaysia. Pat Perez is the defending champion, but the player most closely associated with this event is Justin Thomas. The world No. 4 picked up his first PGA Tour victory at this event in 2015 and then successfully defended his title in 2016, spurring his five-win 2016-17 season that included his first major, the FedEx Cup title and player of the year honors.
